We clearly have a front runner here, one who has earned that designation in the face of relentless opposition not only from the Establishment in general, but from his own party in particular. And while the rest of the field has blown hundreds of millions of dollars to sit in his shadow, he's spent peanuts towering over the lot of them. He's out in front and he has the most left in the tank. The race is his to lose.

Sanders beats everyone on the GOP side in a hypothetical general election, while Hillary runs roughly even with them depending on the poll. Trump's match up with her is invariably tougher than for Rubio or Cruz, but not ¡Jabe!, who just looks awful no matter how you position it.

But right now people think of Hillary as a quasi-criminal and, increasingly, accessory to the abuse of women, while Bernie is the innocuous, doting geezer who sticks to his principles. Trump, on the other hand, wants to throw everyone of color onto trains and send them out of the country. In short, favorability and hypothetical general election matchups are probably meaningless this far out. Last summer, Trump's favorability was at 20%. He's doubled it now to 40%. I doubt he's reached his ceiling.

LOL I didn't know he said that. But I know he spends nothing on advertising, and he can only eat so much so what's left? He has a Secret Service detail now. The other poor shlubs fly commercial, getting groped by TSA, rather than Melania. So sad.
